"Click——"

A crisp sound broke the silence in the blind spot.

The needle bent strangely the moment it touched Clark's skin, like a dead branch that was easily broken.

This……

Bruce's pupils suddenly contracted, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. At this moment, he clearly realized:

What you are facing is definitely not ordinary.

There are actually people who can resist a needle. Could it be that their skin is made of iron?

But Clark still stood there, his eyes like a calm lake, without the slightest ripple.

He recalled what his adoptive father Jonathan had taught him over the years:

If you have extraordinary power, you must also know how to control yourself.

He has kept it in mind all these years.

But this does not mean that he himself is like a turtle shell and suffers humiliation.

Otherwise, there would be no moving.

So, when Bruce attacked again, a barely perceptible coldness flashed in Clark's eyes.

He didn't use his full strength, but just gave a symbolic push.

But for an ordinary human like Bruce, this was already a completely overwhelming attack.

With a deafening roar, Bruce flew backwards as if hit by a cannonball and hit the wall ten meters away heavily.

The wall cracked and dust flew everywhere.

For a moment, Bruce felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break and every inch of his muscles was cramping violently.

But as Batman, Bruce's physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Despite suffering such a severe blow, he still instinctively began to struggle to get up from the ground and looked at Clark coldly.

Seeing this, Clark took a few steps closer, his eyes became dangerous, and his voice was neither light nor heavy:

"I say...if you insist on doing it again, I won't be polite."

This sentence is both a warning and a mercy.

At least that's true for Clark.

If he wanted to kill the other person on the spot, it would be effortless.

But Clark obviously didn't really want to hurt Bruce. He had more things to do and naturally wouldn't focus on such things.

My counterattack is just to hope that the other party will understand the difference in strength and withdraw.

Thinking of this, he casually put on the hood of his sweatshirt, covering most of his face to block potential surveillance, and turned to leave.

"..."

Bruce covered his painful ribs and managed to raise his head.

He knew that it was not a wise move to fight the opponent head-on at his own weight level.

Although Clark "let" him go, as the Dark Knight of Gotham, Bruce will not give up any factor that poses a threat to the city.

What's more... there is an individual whose strength is estimated to be similar to that of Diana.

If someone takes advantage of it...

Thinking of this, a hint of danger flashed in Bruce's eyes. He took out his cell phone from his pocket with difficulty and dialed Alfred's number.

"I need a ride."

Although his tone was weak, he still maintained his instinctive calm.

As a personal butler, Alfred was no stranger to this kind of situation.

When Bruce was starting out from humble beginnings in his early years, few of the opponents he encountered were easy to deal with, but they were all eventually dealt with by his own master.

"Okay, Master, I'll be right there."

Fifteen minutes later, a low-key black sedan pulled up to the scene.

Alfred skillfully helped Bruce into the car and then drove to the secret base temporarily established in the metropolis.

This base was built by Bruce to deal with emergencies, well...it’s not quite true.

After all, Master Wayne has a large family and a great fortune, so he always makes preparations before doing anything.

This base was a security building that he bought in order to track Jonathan.

Money really means nothing to him.

Inside the car, Bruce closed his eyes and rested, but in fact he was reviewing today's battle.

In today's fight, I only made a few probing moves, but the opponent was able to suppress me.

The restraint shown by Clark made Bruce even more alert.

He has now lumped Clark in with Diana.

Although we don't know the other party's identity, he may be hiding more unknown strengths.

Thinking of this, Bruce started working immediately after returning to the secret base, and threw aside the main mission in Gotham.

"Alfred, help me pull up all the files on Clark Kent."

Alfred operated the computer skillfully, and soon, Clark's personal profile appeared on the big screen.

While drinking coffee, Bruce carefully scanned each line of data, and his brows gradually furrowed.

In fact, his record is not as blank as Jonathan's.

But if you look closely, there's something wrong with it that's just as bad as Jonathan's.

Clark seemed to appear out of nowhere.

The first official file turned out to be the kindergarten enrollment record.

This time span itself is strange.

Normally, every child would have a detailed birth record after birth, but in Clark's file, even the birth certificate was blank.

Could it be adoption?

However, this information is only vaguely mentioned in the materials and it is hard to tell what is going on.

Next, Bruce asked Alfred to pull up the other party's medical records.

The result is even more incredible -

Clark had no medical records.

In this information age, it is impossible for a person to never be sick.

"Alfred, what do you think?"

Bruce asked, tilting his head.

The old butler pushed his glasses and said cautiously:

"Master, this is indeed extraordinary. It is almost impossible for a person to have no record of catching a cold."

After receiving the old butler's affirmation, Bruce began to check Clark's social network.

Apart from his adoptive mother, Martha Kent, and his girlfriend, Louise Lane, he had few other social relationships.

This extremely closed social circle itself is weird.

What concerned Bruce even more was that Jonathan came all the way to find such a person with no social circle.

Why would two people who have absolutely nothing in common suddenly come together?

This shows that there is definitely something fishy going on between the two, and the bigger fishy thing is obviously with Diana's friend Jonathan.

"Then you must see Jonathan again."

Bruce made up his mind.

However, at the same time, we realize that if we act rashly, it is likely to cause some unnecessary trouble and a crisis of trust.

Especially Diana.

After a few days of exploration, even Bruce found it strange.

Why could Diana, a woman who had been single and abstinent for half a century, be seduced by a man of unknown origin?

The two people's actions in the past few days have basically been a perfectly consistent cycle.

Shopping, dining, hotels.

Diana really seemed to like this man.

and so……

In order to meet Jonathan alone, Bruce thought about it and used the influence of the Wayne Group to operate secretly.

He found several senior managers of the museum and transferred Diana to another state to attend an archaeological seminar in the name of company research.

Finally, make another appointment with Jonathan.

This reason seems reasonable and there is no trace of it.

Although Diana was a little surprised by this arrangement, she did not have too many doubts.

As a senior archaeologist, she was already accustomed to such sudden job transfers.

So she called Jonathan.
